De arrestatie van Jezus
18 Na deze woorden ging Jezus met zijn leerlingen een tuin in aan de overkant van het Kidrondal. 2 Ook Judas, zijn verrader, kende deze plek, want Jezus was daar vaker geweest met zijn leerlingen. 3 Judas had van de leidende priesters en Farizeeën een troep soldaten en tempeldienaars meegekregen en met hen ging hij naar de tuin. Zij hadden fakkels, lantaarns en wapens bij zich. 4 Jezus wist wat Hem zou overkomen. Hij liep hun tegemoet en vroeg: ‘Wie zoekt u?’ 5 ‘Jezus van Nazareth,’ antwoordden zij. ‘Ik ben het,’ zei Hij, terwijl Judas, die Hem uitleverde, erbij stond.
6 Bij het horen van de woorden ‘Ik ben het’ deinsden ze terug en vielen op de grond. 7 ‘Wie zoekt u?’ vroeg Jezus nog eens. ‘Jezus van Nazareth,’ was het antwoord. 8 ‘Ik heb toch gezegd: Ik ben het! Als het u om Mij te doen is, laat die anderen dan gaan.’ 9 Daarmee kwam uit wat Hij eerder eens gezegd had: ‘Van hen die U Mij gegeven hebt, heb Ik niemand verloren laten gaan.’ 10 Toen trok Simon Petrus een zwaard, haalde uit en sloeg Malchus, de knecht van de hogepriester, het rechteroor af. 11 Jezus zei: ‘Doe dat zwaard weg! Zou Ik de beproeving die de Vader Mij stuurt, uit de weg gaan?’
12 De soldaten en tempeldienaars namen Jezus gevangen. Zij boeiden Hem 13 en brachten Hem eerst bij Annas, de schoonvader van Kajafas, de hogepriester van dat jaar. 14 Kajafas had indertijd tegen de Hoge Raad gezegd: ‘Het is goed dat één mens sterft voor het hele volk.’ Annas stuurde Jezus, die nog steeds geboeid was, door naar de hogepriester Kajafas.
15 Simon Petrus en een andere leerling volgden Jezus. Die andere leerling was een kennis van de hogepriester. Hij mocht tegelijk met Jezus de binnenplaats van het paleis op. 16 Maar Petrus moest buiten blijven. De andere leerling kwam terug, sprak even met de portierster en nam Petrus toen mee naar binnen. 17 De portierster zei: ‘U bent zeker een leerling van die Jezus.’ ‘Nee, hoor,’ zei Petrus. 18 Omdat het koud was, hadden de knechten en bewakers een vuur gemaakt waarbij zij zich warmden. Petrus ging er ook bij staan.
19 De hogepriester ondervroeg Jezus over zijn leerlingen en ideeën. 20 ‘Het is algemeen bekend wat Ik heb gezegd,’ antwoordde Jezus. ‘Ik heb vrijuit gesproken. Ik sprak openlijk in de synagoge en in de tempel, overal waar de Joden bij elkaar komen. 21 Waarom ondervraagt u Mij eigenlijk? Er zijn genoeg mensen die Mij hebben gehoord. Vraag het aan hen. Zij kunnen u precies vertellen wat Ik gezegd heb.’ 22 Een van de bewakers gaf Jezus een klap in het gezicht. ‘Zo wordt niet tegen de hogepriester gesproken!’ zei hij. 23 ‘Als Ik iets fout heb gezegd, vertel het Mij dan,’ zei Jezus. ‘Maar als ik gelijk heb, waarom slaat u Mij dan?’
24 Ondertussen stond Petrus zich bij het vuur te warmen 25 en enkele van de mannen vroegen hem: ‘Zeg, bent u ook niet een van zijn leerlingen?’ ‘Welnee!’ antwoordde Petrus. 26 ‘Maar ik geloof dat ik u bij Hem in de tuin heb gezien,’ zei een knecht van de hogepriester. Deze was familie van de knecht van wie Petrus een oor had afgeslagen. 27 Petrus ontkende het opnieuw. Direct daarna kraaide er een haan.
28 ʼs Morgens in alle vroegte brachten zij Jezus van het paleis van Kajafas naar het paleis van de Romeinse gouverneur. Maar zij gingen er niet naar binnen, om zich niet te verontreinigen door het huis van een heiden binnen te gaan. Als zij dat gedaan hadden, zouden ze niet mogen eten van het lam dat met Pesach, het Joodse Paasfeest, geofferd werd. 29 Daarom kwam gouverneur Pilatus naar buiten en vroeg: ‘Waarvan beschuldigt u Hem?’ 30 ‘Van iets heel ernstigs,’ antwoordden zij. ‘Anders zouden we Hem niet bij u hebben gebracht.’ 31 ‘Neem Hem maar weer mee,’ zei Pilatus. ‘U hebt een eigen wet. Spreek zelf maar recht over Hem.’ ‘Maar het is ons verboden zelf iemand terecht te stellen,’ brachten de Joden er tegenin. 32 Dit klopte met wat Jezus had gezegd over de manier waarop Hij zou sterven.
33 Pilatus ging het gebouw weer binnen en liet Jezus bij zich brengen. ‘Bent U de koning van de Joden?’ vroeg hij. 34 ‘Bent u zelf op die gedachte gekomen?’ vroeg Jezus. ‘Of hebben anderen u dat verteld?’ 35 ‘Ik ben geen Jood!’ zei Pilatus. ‘U bent hier gebracht door de priesters van uw eigen volk. Waarom weet ik niet. Wat hebt U gedaan?’ 36 Jezus antwoordde: ‘Mijn koninkrijk is niet van deze wereld. Als dat zo was, zouden mijn lijfwachten met geweld hebben verhinderd dat Ik in de handen van de Joden was gevallen. Nee, mijn koninkrijk is niet van deze wereld.’ 37 ‘Bent U dan toch een koning?’ vroeg Pilatus. ‘U gebruikt zelf het woord koning,’ was Jezusʼ antwoord. ‘Ik ben geboren en in de wereld gekomen om de waarheid bekend te maken. Ieder die de waarheid liefheeft, luistert naar wat Ik zeg.’ 38 ‘Waarheid?’ vroeg Pilatus. ‘Wat is waarheid?’ Hij ging weer naar buiten en zei tegen de Joden: ‘Volgens mij heeft Hij geen misdaad begaan. 39 Maar u bent gewend dat ik ieder jaar met het Paasfeest een gevangene vrijlaat, zal ik dan “de koning van de Joden” vrijlaten?’ 40 ‘Nee!’ schreeuwden zij. ‘Nee, niet Hem, maar Barabbas!’ Barabbas was een misdadiger.

18 Having said these things, Jesus went out with His disciples beyond (across) the winter torrent of the Kidron [in the ravine]. There was a garden there, which He and His disciples entered.
2 And Judas, who was betraying Him and delivering Him up, also knew the place, because Jesus had often retired there with His disciples.
3 So Judas, obtaining and taking charge of the band of soldiers and some guards (attendants) of the high priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Then Jesus, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to them and said, Whom are you seeking? [Whom do you want?]
5 They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them, I am He. Judas, who was betraying Him, was also standing with them.
6 When Jesus said to them, I am He, they went backwards (drew back, lurched backward) and fell to the ground.
7 Then again He asked them, Whom are you seeking? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am He. So, if you want Me [if it is only I for Whom you are looking], let these men go their way.
9 Thus what He had said was fulfilled and verified, Of those whom You have given Me, I have not lost even one.(A)
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Therefore, Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword [back] into the sheath! The cup which My Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?
12 So the troops and their captain and the guards (attendants) of the Jews seized Jesus and bound Him,
13 And they brought Him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year.
14 It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was expedient and for their welfare that one man should die for (instead of, in behalf of) the people.(B)
15 Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and so he entered along with Jesus into the court of the palace of the high priest;
16 But Peter was standing outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door and brought Peter inside.
17 Then the maid who was in charge at the door said to Peter, You are not also one of the disciples of this [a]Man, are you? He said, I am not!
18 Now the servants and the guards (the attendants) had made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. And Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
19 Then the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue and in the temple [area], where the Jews [habitually] congregate (assemble); and I have spoken nothing secretly.
21 Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard [Me] what I said to them. See! They know what I said.
22 But when He said this, one of the attendants who stood by struck Jesus, saying, Is that how [b]You answer the high priest?
23 Jesus replied, If I have said anything wrong [if I have spoken abusively, if there was evil in what I said] tell what was wrong with it. But if I spoke rightly and properly, why do you strike Me?
24 Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 But Simon Peter [still] was standing and was warming himself. They said to him, You are not also one of His disciples, are you? He denied it and said, I am not!
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with Him?
27 And again Peter denied it. And immediately a rooster crowed.
28 Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium (judgment hall, governor’s palace). And it was early. They themselves did not enter the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled (become ceremonially unclean), but might be fit to eat the Passover [supper].
29 So Pilate went out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this [c]Man?
30 They retorted, If He were not an evildoer (criminal), we would not have handed Him over to you.
31 Pilate said to them, Take Him yourselves and judge and sentence and punish Him according to your [own] law. The Jews answered, It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.
32 This was to fulfill the word which Jesus had spoken to show (indicate, predict) by what manner of death He was to die.(C)
33 So Pilate went back again into the judgment hall and called Jesus and asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus replied, Are you saying this of yourself [on your own initiative], or have others told you about Me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your [own] people and nation and their chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom (kingship, royal power) belongs not to this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My followers would have been fighting to keep Me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, My kingdom is not from here (this world); [it has no such origin or source].
37 Pilate said to Him, Then You are a King? Jesus answered, You say it! [You speak correctly!] For I am a King. [Certainly I am a King!] This is why I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is of the Truth [who is a friend of the Truth, who belongs to the Truth] hears and listens to My voice.
38 Pilate said to Him, What is Truth? On saying this he went out to the Jews again and told them, I find no fault in Him.
39 But it is your custom that I release one [prisoner] for you at the Passover. So shall I release for you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they all shouted back again, Not Him [not this Man], but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber.

Jesus Arrested(A)
18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.(B) On the other side there was a garden,(C) and he and his disciples went into it.(D)
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(E) 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding(F) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.(G) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(H) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(I)
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,”(J) they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”(K)
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a](L)
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup(M) the Father has given me?”
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials(N) arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,(O) the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.(P)
Peter’s First Denial(Q)
15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest,(R) he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,(S) 16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
17 “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter.
He replied, “I am not.”(T)
18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire(U) they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.(V)
The High Priest Questions Jesus(W)
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues(X) or at the temple,(Y) where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.(Z) 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(AA) nearby slapped him in the face.(AB) “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.
23 “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”(AC) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(AD) the high priest.
Peter’s Second and Third Denials(AE)
25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.(AF) So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”
He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(AG)
26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,(AH) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”(AI) 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.(AJ)
Jesus Before Pilate(AK)
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.(AL) By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace,(AM) because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.(AN) 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”
“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(AP) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(AQ)
34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom(AR) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(AS) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(AT)
37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.(AU) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(AV)
38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.(AW) 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.(AX)
